الحمد لله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنّا لنهتدي لو لا أن هدانا الله

“And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember; then is there anyone who will remember (or receive admonition)? (Surah al Qamar 54: 17, 22, 32 & 40)

Dear Readers,

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Thanks to the latest technology and the zeal of Muslim individuals and organisations, the world of internet today is not deprived of good Islamic websites.

The creation of this blog, however, is borne out of a particular necessity.

Students and youth need proper guidance especially when it comes to the use of authentic Islamic websites so that they can take advantage of the resources and improve their understanding of the Glorious Qur’an. We need to guide them to different websites for different aspects of learning the Qur’an: Tilawah, Tarjuma, Tadabbur, Tafheem, Tafakkur, Tajweed, Tanzeel, Tahfeedh etc.

The students have to be told that this website is good for Tilawah, that website is good for knowing the translation of the meanings of the Qur’an, this website is a good aid to memorization of the Qur’an, that website is a good one for Tafseer, so on and so forth.

Sometimes it is difficult for young learners to keep track of many websites at one and the same time.

I created this blog to facilitate Qur’anic teachings to young learners of the Qur’an. They need not have to worry about saving the names of different websites – at least when it comes to learning the Qur’an – in the favourite section of their computers.

With separate sub-headings for specific topics, the students and visitors to this blog will, InshaAllah, find it easy to embark on the journey to Qur’anic learning and understanding.

I wanted to make things easy primarily for my students, and secondarily for all the global visitors of this blog. Hence the blog name YasSarNal QuR’aN, and the tag line: An effort in f a c i l i t a t i o n, alhamdulillaah.

To put it precisely, this blog aims to kindle the spark of learning and living by the Qur’an.

When you convey the teachings of the Qur’an, you strive in the cause of Allah.

And those who sincerely strive in His Cause are showered with His exclusive Guidance.

Allah’s assurance is the greatest inspiration:

والّذين جاهدوا فينا لنهدينّهم سبلنا وإنّ الله لمع المحسنين

“And those who strive in Our Cause, We shall Guide them to our Ways. Certainly, Allah is with those who excel in good”.

Thought of doing something before death overtakes me!

After all, we have come from dust, we will go back to dust and will be raised again from dust: منها خلقناكم وفيها نعيدكم ومنها نخرجكم تارة أخرى

For all good things mentioned in this blog, I humbly submit to the Majesty of Allah, Alhamdulillah: All Praise is due to Allah.

I own the responsibility for any errors. May Allah forgive me for that.

I would be grateful to you if you point out to me any error, should you come across any mistake in this blog. You can inform me of any mistakes/errors through comment section, Inshaa’Allah.

May Allah give us the Tawfeeq and Hidayah to live by the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Aameen.

PS: All posts are authored by me unless otherwise stated. In the initial year of this blog, I took most of the posts from different sources with due courtesy and kind acknowledgement, and whenever I share others’ writings I make it a point to mention it in all honesty. Likewise, if anyone wants to use the material for da’wah or educational purposes, they can very well use this blog’s content but with due acknowledgement and referring back to this blog.

PS 2: I mostly follow Saheeh International’s English Translation of the glorious Qur’an.

Im sure every post is going to be a pleasure…May Allah swt bless you for your efforts..

May Allah accept your du’aa. Aameen.
Thank you so much for taking time to visit my blogs and for posting comments in all the three wordpress blogs.
I need to say at all times Alhamdulillah, Thumma Alhamdulillah. Without the Grace and Mercy of Allah, all this work wouldn’t have been possible. At times, the encouragement I get from brothers and sisters, like you – which really speaks of the glorious Islamic brotherhood – keeps my pot boiling 🙂
I have added a link to your blog here: https://yassarnalquran.wordpress.com/link-this/
Jazakillah Khayr.

Its an honour to comment on all your blogs brother…and an even bigger honor to have my blog in the list of your links…jazakallah khair brother..im inspired to post more articles now alhamdulillah…May Allah bless you and your family. Ameen 🙂

Dear sister, your appreciative wordings reminded me of a quote from Sadi Shirazi:
“People praise the peacock for his wonderful plummage but he himself is ashamed of his ugly legs”.
Thank you for your appreciation but I know my weaknesses and defects.
May Allah accept your du’aa, forgive our sins and accept all our sincere work done in order to please Him. Aameen.
Jazakillah Khayr.

Assalam Alaikum,
Your blog is very informative masha’a Allah , i need months to read all articles and it really deserve to be as a website (of course i am not underestimating the rule of islamic blogs, but this blog should be in a form of website so can everybody learn a lot from it )
Jazak allah Khair and may Allah reward you here and in the hereafter,
Your sister ‘Aisha

Wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullah.
Some minutes ago i was reading your presentations at slideshare. Masha’Allah they are so fabulous!
Thank you for visiting the blog and for your appreciation. Jazakumullah Khayr.
May Allah bless you and accept your du’aa. Aameen.
Yes, it can be made into a distinct website but I feel whether it is blog or website, the reach is same.
The only advantage of a website is that you can design your own layout and have things under your control.
Vassalam.

Wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullah, dear Shafeeq.
Subhanallah! It is nice to see you here 🙂
Aameen to your du’aa and Jazakallah Khayr.
…How can I forget you? You were one of the bright students, Mashaa’Allah.
Where are you now and what are you doing?
May Allah bless you abundantly both in this world and in the Hereafter. Aameen.
Vassalam.

Wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullah.
Thank you so much for your compliments.
I have only this to say:
هذا من فضل ربّ
Yes, Noorani Qaidah is a very useful kit to teach beginners.
May Allah bless you and your family for serving the cause of His Deen. Aameen.
Vassalam.

Aameen to your du’aa and Jazakillah Khayr for dropping by.
You have an amazing blog with a noble intention.
May Allah shower upon you and your family His choicest blessings so that all tensions and worries disappear. Aameen.

Aameen. Jazakallahu Khayra.
May Allah reward you for making a sincere du’aa for a Muslim brother. Aameen.
As you rightly said the ultimate success lies with Allah Tabarak wa Ta’ala.
We praise Him and we seek His help and refuge. May He grant us success. Aameen.

Could you please advice where can i find the English and Arabic word lists from the Quran especially Sahih International?? Do you have some resource for the same? Kindly let me know. Barakallahu Feekum Brother!

Wa alaikumus salam Sister.
Since I do not possess the hard copy of Sahih International’s interpretation, I do not have any idea about it.
i have one excellent interpretation by Dr Zaki Hammad entitled ‘The Gracious Qur’an’. I think it has a word list. Presently I am on a visit to Chennai and that hard copy is in Sharjah 🙂
Jazakallahu Khayra for your query. Vassalam.

Asalamoalikum,
I just read your introduction. As you are living in sharjah,by any chance do you know about this awqaf initiated hifz program in sharjah mosques. I have read in a blog that its for females also, but to date I havent found any particular mosque where its being held. If you know anything about this, please do share.
Also I especially like your posts about Quran learning for Kids.
Mashallah good work!

Wa alaikumus salam.
Jazakallah Khayr for dropping by and making a comment.
May Allah accept your sincere intention to undergo the hifz program. Aameen.
The King Faisal Mosque in Sharjah has separate ladies section and I think they organise such programmes.
Please contact them, Inshaa’Allah.
Thank you for your appreciation.
Barakallahu Feek.

Assalam o ALikum! This one blog i have just seen, must say, thumbs up!
ALLAHUMMA ZID FA ZID brother.
May ALLAH grant you His true love and the companionship of His beloved Propeht peace be upon him in the here after.

Keep visiting this blog, dear sister.

Assalamu Alaykum Muqeet,
What an amazing blog, Maa shaa Allah. May Allah reward you abundantly. Honestly, you almost have everything in your blog except the inspirational quran series traveller with the Quran. In case you have not heard of it it is hosted by Shaykh Fahad al Kanderi and he travellers to various countires to explore the methods the people use to memorise the Quran whilst putting the interviewers to a Quran test. He also gives us tips on how to reflect and
contemplate on the Quran.

Wa alaikumus salam wa Rahmatullah.
Jazakillaahu Khayra.
Yes, he is a famous Qaari from Kuwait.
Since I do not watch nor take time to view any videos, I do not normally add such links in my blogs.
May Allah help and reward you for your interest in learning and understanding the Qur’an.
Baarakallaahu Feek.

Asalamu Aleikum. I need some help and i am wondering if you can help me..

If yes, then how should we stop at a word that ends with the letter “ya” or the letter “waw” when that letter has a shaddah on it? Normally without the shaddah it would be turned in to sukun, is it the same in this case? As an example the word al-nabeyye in 33:56, if i stop there, does it become al-nabeyy or al-nabee? ie. consonant or vowel?

Dear Sisters,
JazakAllah Khair for you wonderful efforts and hard work. Inshallah tala, Allah (SWT) will reward you and I always pray for you all in every namaz. You cannot believe how happy I was today, I just received the 3 Quran Shareef volumes with English translation you both have worked on. Its hard for me to read the Quran Shareef translation in Urdu since my Urdu is very weak being raised in America so I was so excited that my Abu found your website and the Quran Shareef with English translation for me. Inshallah this is going to make my understanding of the Qur’an and reading much easier! Ameen and May Allah (SWT) bless you for putting the translation in simple English for anyone to understand, thank you and this is the most beautiful gift I could ever get! Alhamdulillah and Ameen.

Assalamu Alaikum.
I understand that you have addressed those ‘sisters’ who did the word to word translation.
May Allah bless them and reward them abundantly. Aameen
I am happy that you found the translations to be very useful.
Baarakallahu Feek.

Dear Brother Muqeet. As salamualaikum. May Allah reward you for your great work. I have a request of you. I was looking on the net recently for a tajweed color coded mushaf in the indo pak font which I could read on my tablet but I could not find a good copy. Therefore, I downloaded a scanned copy and have optimized it for reading on electronic devices. I would request you to put this copy of the mushaf on your site as well if you find it useful. Please take a look at it and if you think its good, please post the copy or at least the link below. Jazak Allah khair.

Wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullah brother
Jazakallahu Khayra for the link.
I went through some pages and found that the colour marking are not as per international tajweed standards.
Still it is good work done. May Allah reward the brothers/sisters behind the project. Aameen.
Baarakallaahu Feekum.
I will inshaa’Allah include the link in Mushaf section.
Vassalam.

MashaAllah brother in Islam JazakAllahu khair and thank you for sharing what you know of the only true religion Islam. May Allah the Most Merciful accept all our good deeds and reunite us with His righteous friends in Jannatul Firdaus near Him and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

Keep up the good work of sharing Islamic knowledge for Allah’s sake, include all Muslim brothers and sisters in your du’as 🙂

Jazakillaahu khayra for your visit, comment and appreciation. Aameen to your du’aas.
You too remember us all in your du’aas InshaaAllah.
If I am not wrong you had a blog in wordpress, right? This is because the name seems to be familiar.
Keep up your good work through blog and schooling InshaaAllah.
Baarakallaahu feekum.

Assalamu Alaikkum warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu. jazakallahu khairan for your wondeful effort. May allah accept it and reward you with firdousul A’alaa. i’m a srilankan, when i tried the Sinhala Quran, nothing is available. I use this website. hope you could include this website as well http://sriquran.com/?s=&cat=-1

Jazak Allah kheir for your great efforts. I would appreciate if you foul email me your response.

I Live in Australia but have recently been offered work in Sharjah. I have 2 sons aged 10 and 7 and a husband who is not a born Muslim.

Before I am able to accept this position I need to feel reassured that we will not move backwards in our Islam. I request your assistance and guidance if possible.

1- My husband would need to enrol I’m a college or centre after school hours were he could learn Arabic and Quran
2- my sons are able to enrol in a after school course or private tutor also for Arabic and Quran .

We’re would you recommend this he attained from? I cannot explain how urgent it is that we reach this answer .

I have. But they don’t seem to understand what I’m looking for. In other countries such as India and Pakistan. There are full time hifz programs and places where children memorize entire Quran before any of their secular education. Once they finish memorization, then they start or may go to normal secular school. Is there anything like that here from what you know?

Wa alaikum assalam, Quran.com is good In Shaa Allah. If you tap on the Arabic word, the audio pronounces it in Arabic and a box also appears, with the English translation. Some words have more than one word meanings, eg ‘nasta-een’ means ‘we ask for help’ . Thus I don’t know if a written book would be ‘word by word’ as I think you wish to have. It would simply have the English translation for the whole verse.

wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullaah.
yes, they are available…..inshaaAllah, will take time to upload……presently i am on vacation due to pressing family needs, and unable to devote time…..do remember us in your duaas. Jazakillaahu khayra
